na foine ting: "this is a fine thing, here" or "look at this fine thing" or "I've got a very fine thing here, check it out" or "well, this is a damn pretty fucking kettle of fish; nice work, buckethead."

thanks for the plug, Kate. I'm still working on that No.1 Work street piece, which is currently as rough as the pictures of the Sea Space and Survivor. Chris is mending, went to exercise class Friday, did everything but pushups, and then came home feeling as if run over by a Mack truck. Fireworks have kept me bunkered in, but feeling good except for flashbacks. Happy New Year OM

OldMack appreciates the plug, Kate. In return, he's put a link button to na foine ting on his home page. He hopes you are over the Cold. He recommends Vick's vaporub on the chest, a shot of Wild Turkey in hot tea, hop into bed,pile on the quilts and comforters, then resist the temptation to move to cool spots on the sheets; Sweat it out, in other words.
